The spring months of March, April, and May see the second leg of the Gray Whale Migration which has gray whale moms and their newborns. Giant blue whales and finback whales also migrate into our waters during these months. For the gray whales this is special time to view these amazing mammals as the moms and their calves often provide extended viewing opportunities. Newborns are quite curious and playful trying out their environment. Often the gray whales on this northern migration are closer to closer to shore and this provides protection from killer whales. Often whale watching cruises during the spring months view 5 or more gray whales a cruise making for excellent viewing opportunities.
Blue whales and finback whales migrate into Newport area to start their spring and summer feeding cycle. Lunge feeding if often viewed with enormous blue whales mouths open sucking in thousands of gallons of water in a single gulp and then filtering out krill which they consume by the tons. Finback whales are also viewed often in the same areas as the blue whales. Finback whales are known for their speed and are the second largest of all whales.
